3 Escape Rooms in Trinidad to Visit in Time for Halloween

Can you escape in time?

The widely popular concept of ‘escape rooms’ launched in 2017 in Trinidad and Tobago. Escape rooms are real life games where you must solve a series of puzzles and riddles, while being provided a number of clues and strategies based on the themed concept. More importantly, solve it before the clock runs out.

Bmobile launched the first series of escape rooms in Trinidad called Escape the Movies, featuring three equally thrilling rooms, perfect for Halloween.

According to Escape the Movies, their themes are based on “flicks we’ve grown to love, in genres such as drama, horror, comedy and adventure! However, there is a bit of a twist in terms of settings and story where elements that are unique to local culture are incorporated into each game.”

Take the Junkyard Escape Room that features figures in Trinbagonian folkore — douens and soucoyants.
